India had a few fitness concerns on the eve of the second cricket one-dayer against
Sri Lanka with Irfan Pathan, Yuvraj Singh and Ajit Agarkar
yet to recover from the niggles that kept them out of the first cricket match.
Captain Rahul Dravid said that of the three, Agarkar,
who has been down with flu, had a better chance of playing cricket tomorrow
although he was unlikely to be 100 percent fit.
"Agarkar bowled a few overs in the nets. He is still a
bit flat," Dravid said.
Pathan has a sore shoulder while Yuvraj was nursing a stiff
back.
Dravid said there was no serious concern with Yuvraj.
The Punjab batsman is easing his way back into the cricket
team from a four-month lay-off after rupturing his knee ligament during the
Champions Trophy.
"The most important thing with Yuvraj is his knee and
it is holding up well," the cricket captain said.
"He has fielded well but did not get to bat. There is
nothing serious about his back, it is only a niggle." Nevertheless, the
selectors would have liked to have a 100 per cent fit pool to choose from the
cricket squad for the icc cricket world cup west indies 2007 tomorrow.
